Xiao Yuanshi pondered for a moment.
He ordered his confidants, "Continue to send people to keep an eye on Zheng'er. It would be best if you could create an opportunity to ruin his reputation."
He looked like he was thinking about his son again, "The capital is too complicated, with swords, blood and rain, it's not suitable for a farmer like him, he should just stay in Nanxi County and be a rich man."
Since you have opened several workshops, you should run them well and don't take the path of imperial examination.
Since he couldn't use his son's skills and might even bite him back, he had no choice but to be cruel and block his son's path to success.
The confidant nodded, "I understand. The master is also thinking about the eldest son."
Xiao Yuanshi thought for a moment and emphasized: "Don't do it yourself and leave any evidence. Do it cleanly, and don't let Zheng'er know or find out."
What he meant was to tell his confidants not to do it themselves, as this kind of thing could only be done with someone else.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hanzheng has grown up. With so much foundation, he dare not act rashly.
After much thought, the only option is to ruin my reputation.
If one has a bad reputation when entering the officialdom through the imperial examination, he will not be recognized and employed by the old civil servants in the court.
Those people in the old house were instigated by that girl to come to the capital city, deliberately to disgust and ruin their reputation. He didn't believe that his son didn't know about it.
In this case, he doesn't have to worry about holding back. With his reputation and future gone, he can just stay in Nanxi County honestly.
The confidant knew what his master was thinking, "Yes, I will do it myself."
Hearing what the two said, Ge Chunru slowly loosened her clenched hands and felt relieved.
She said meaningfully: "It would be better to help Han Zheng find a docile wife, so that he won't be led astray again."
If it weren't for Shi Qingluo's help in getting married, Xiao Hanzheng would have died of illness by now.
And the recipe was also offered by that little bitch.
She didn't want Xiao Hanzheng to have such a helper, so she had to solve the hidden danger in advance.
I also don’t want Xiao Hanzheng to find a helpful wife in the future.
So remind me again.
Xiao Yuanshi thought about it and said, "You can handle this. As a man, it's not easy for me to interfere."
He has already ordered someone to kill the bad daughter-in-law with a borrowed knife.
However, he didn't want to worry about what kind of wife his son would marry, and it would be more appropriate to leave it to his young wife.
She asked someone in Nanxi County to help find a gentle, virtuous and independent woman, and then asked someone to act as a matchmaker for her son.
After all, the Kong family is very unreliable and only causes trouble.
Ge Chunru looked gentle and considerate and said, "Okay, I will definitely help Han Zheng find a virtuous and considerate new daughter-in-law."
Xiao Yuanshi felt a little itchy when he saw her like this. After asking his confidants to go down, he carried her to the bedroom.
Xiaxi Village.
Liang Youxiao has been wandering around the village these past few days, often following Shi Qingluo to visit the Xiao family's workshop.
That day he took his servant to the sugar factory.
Shi Qingluo had just led his people to make a batch of nougat and milk candy.
The cows on the mountain had started to produce milk, so she had them milked, and all the milk, except for what she drank every day, was made into candy.
Xiao Hanzheng happened to have a day off today, so he accompanied his young wife here to make candies.
Liang Youxiao was a particularly self-conscious person. He walked over, picked up a nougat and threw it into his mouth.
His eyes lit up, "This candy tastes really good."
Shi Qingluo had already discovered that this guy was a foodie, "Of course it's good."
Liang Youxiao discovered that although this tigress’s cooking skills were not very good, she was able to make people eat in many different ways.
He asked: "How are you going to sell this candy?"
"Put it in the shop at the entrance of the village and sell it."
Now the courtyards and shops at the entrance of the village have been repaired, and wholesale business from other places, or retail business from the county town, are all done there.
Liang Youxiao frowned slightly, "This is too much trouble, why don't I take care of it."
Shi Qing rolled his eyes at him and said, "No."
This guy has bought all the candies, so from now on nougat and toffee will become exclusive to noble people.
"If you are interested, you can sign a contract and buy some and have them shipped to the capital to sell."
It's okay to ship it to Beijing and sell it to increase its popularity.
These guys just want to take all her things.
Before, Bai Xu had pestered her to take charge of this and that, and even wanted to set up a furniture workshop, but she rejected him every time.
She was too lazy to deal with the furniture.
At least for now I want to maintain the unique style of my home, and I’ll deal with it later.
If we want to tinker with something, we always want to focus on the wholesale route.
Liang Youxiao: “…” Sometimes I really can’t understand this woman’s thoughts.
He had clearly packed them, so she didn't have to go through the trouble of selling them piecemeal, and the price would be even higher, but she actually refused.
He said speechlessly: "Okay, then get me a batch first and I'll have someone transport it to the capital."
He is not very interested in entering the court, he just likes money.
So before when I was in Beijing, I told my family that I wanted to go into business, start my own business, and also wanted to try my luck at sea.
Not only was his proposal rejected, he was almost beaten up.
He did not give up and secretly set up a business, ready to do something big.
Who knew that he was discovered? His grandfather and father said they would break his legs, so he ran away and hid for a while.
Although the status of merchants in Daliang was good, it could not change the fact that their status was at the bottom.
Naturally, his family also had a shop, but it was just a vassal business, and was managed by the manager. Children from aristocratic families basically did not do this themselves.
So his family thought it was shameful for him to go into business.
He originally just wanted to play around, but since his family strongly opposed it and tried to stop him, he began to have rebellious thoughts.
The more you don't let me do it, the more I want to do it, and I want to do it well.
What's the point of opening a few shops separately? If you want to do it, you have to make it big and strong to surprise the people at home.
Besides, if it really grows big, it will definitely provide great convenience for the development of the family.
Of course, his family background can also provide him with the greatest protection.
Therefore, ever since he discovered the good things in Shi Qingluo's family, he has been eyeing them.
The nougat and milk candy that this tigress made were things he had never seen before.
Naturally, those people in the capital have never seen it.
Not only does it taste good, Shi Qingluo also said it can nourish the body.
We can get a batch and go to Beijing to test the waters first.
Also look at the reaction at home.
He couldn't help but sigh to himself, "Why is it so difficult to do something I like?"
When Shi Qingluo heard him sigh like this, he felt a sense of empathy.
After all, she wanted to study agriculture in modern times, but was blocked in the early stages. If it weren't for her own struggle and hard work, she would probably have been forced to study economics.
"As long as you can make a name for yourself and have the strength and time to do it, you will naturally be recognized."
Daliang was founded only a few years ago, and the previous war had affected the country's economy.
Therefore, after the new emperor came to power, he greatly enhanced the status of merchants and promulgated many policies conducive to the development of business.
For example, there are no restrictions on merchants’ dress and appearance, and the descendants of merchants can take the imperial examinations and become officials.
Although it is said that there are scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, but apart from scholars, are the status of workers and farmers really higher than that of merchants? It is just verbal superiority. Apart from power, whoever has money is the boss.
Many of the slaves in merchants' families were born in farmers' families.
Given Bai Xu's identity and family background, if he wanted to do a feature article, it was still a little low, and he would easily be targeted and brought down.
Liang Youxiao didn't have such concerns because of his identity, so Shi Qingluo supported him in doing something big, and it would be great if she could take him on board to do something.
When Liang Youxiao heard this, he felt that he was a kindred spirit! At this moment, Shi Lao San sneaked in. "Girl, something's wrong."
